Project Objective: Balancing the Pendulum using Reinforcement Learning

The aim of this project is to develop a reinforcement learning (RL) agent that can balance an inverted pendulum in the Pendulum-v0 environment from OpenAI Gym.

The pendulum begins in a downward position. The agent is expected to learn how to apply torque to swing the pendulum upright and keep it balanced. This is a common control problem that reflects real-world tasks such as stabilizing robotic arms or self-balancing systems.

Why Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning is suitable for this task because it enables an agent to learn optimal actions through interaction with the environment. Rather than using labelled data, the agent receives feedback in the form of rewards, which guides its learning process.

Problem Description: Pendulum-v0 Control Task

The Pendulum-v0 environment from OpenAI Gym is a reinforcement learning control task where the objective is to balance an inverted pendulum. The pendulum starts in a downward position, and the agent must apply torque to swing it upward and maintain its upright position.

State Space

The agent observes a 3-dimensional state vector at each time step:

• cos(θ): cosine of the pendulum angle
• sin(θ): sine of the pendulum angle
• θ̇: angular velocity of the pendulum

This representation provides full information about the pendulum’s position and motion.

Action Space

The action is a continuous scalar torque value within the range [-2.0, 2.0]. The agent uses this torque to rotate the pendulum:

• Negative values apply torque in one direction.
• Positive values apply torque in the opposite direction.

Reward Function

The environment provides a negative reward at every step, calculated using the formula: reward = - (θ² + 0.1 × θ̇² + 0.001 × torque²)

his structure penalizes the agent for:

• Deviating from the upright position (θ ≠ 0)
• Rotating too quickly (θ̇ ≠ 0)
• Using excessive torque

The goal is to minimize this penalty, which effectively means maximizing the pendulum's upright stability with minimal effort.

Challenge

The Pendulum-v1 problem is challenging because:

• It involves a continuous action space, making traditional discrete methods like DQN incompatible without modification.
• The agent must learn to first swing the pendulum up and then balance it — a two-stage control problem.
• It requires careful exploration, stability, and tuning to learn a successful control policy.

Setup: Import Libraries and Define Environment

• What: This cell imports required libraries (e.g., numpy, gym, torch) and sets up the Pendulum-v1 environment.
• Why: These imports and environment setup are foundational for running RL experiments and are required for all subsequent code.
• Assumptions: Assumes gym and all libraries are installed and compatible; expects Pendulum-v1 to be available in gym.

This cell initializes the Pendulum-v0 environment using OpenAI Gym. It also prints out the observation space.

• The environment simulates a pendulum hanging on a frictionless joint.
• The observation space is a continuous 3D vector: [cos(θ), sin(θ), θ̇].
• Values range from -8.0 to 8.0.

env = gym.make("Pendulum-v0")
print("Observation Space:", env.observation_space)

Observation Space: Box(-8.0, 8.0, (3,), float32)

Environment Wrapping and Seeding

• What: This cell wraps the environment (e.g., for monitoring or normalization) and sets random seeds for reproducibility.
• Why: Wrapping may add logging or preprocessing; seeding ensures results can be replicated.
• Assumptions: Assumes the environment supports the wrappers and seeding methods used.

This cell prints out the details of the action space.

• The action space is a single continuous value between -2.0 and 2.0.
• This value represents the torque applied to the pendulum.
• The shape (1,) means only one action is applied at each step.

print("Action Space:", env.action_space)
print("Action Range:", env.action_space.low, "to", env.action_space.high)

Action Space: Box(-2.0, 2.0, (1,), float32)
Action Range: [-2.] to [2.]

Define Replay Buffer and Utility Functions

• What: This cell defines the replay buffer class and any helper functions for experience storage and sampling.
• Why: Replay buffers are essential for off-policy RL algorithms like DQN and SAC, enabling experience reuse and breaking correlation between samples.
• Assumptions: Assumes buffer size and sampling logic are appropriate for the environment and model.

This cell resets the environment and samples a random action.

• The state is a random initial observation when the pendulum starts.
  • Example: [-0.45, 0.89, -0.91] → pendulum is tilted and rotating.
• The action is a randomly sampled torque from the action space.
  • Example: [0.70] → clockwise torque of 0.7.

state = env.reset()
print("Sample Initial State:", state)

action = env.action_space.sample()
print("Sample Action:", action)

Sample Initial State: [ 0.45725262 -0.88933685 -0.45262463]
Sample Action: [-1.9437952]

Define Neural Network Architectures

• What: This cell defines the neural network models (e.g., Q-network, policy network) used by the RL agents.
• Why: These models approximate value functions or policies, which are central to DQN, Noisy DQN, and SAC algorithms.
• Assumptions: Assumes input/output shapes match the environment's observation and action spaces.

This block runs 100 episodes of the Pendulum environment using a random policy and collects the total reward for each episode.

• For each episode, the environment is reset.
• Then 200 random actions are taken (env.action_space.sample()).
• The total reward is summed across the 200 steps.
• This process is repeated 100 times to build a reward distribution.

The histogram shows how well the random policy performs:

• Most total rewards fall between -1800 and -800.
• The lower the total reward, the worse the policy performed.
• Since the actions are random, the agent fails to consistently balance the pendulum, resulting in poor rewards.
• This sets a baseline to compare against trained policies later.

Initialize Models and Optimizers

• What: This cell initializes the neural network models and their optimizers for each RL agent.
• Why: Model and optimizer initialization is required before training can begin.
• Assumptions: Assumes correct hyperparameters and that models are compatible with the optimizer settings.

# Collect episode rewards using random actions
env = gym.make("Pendulum-v0")
rewards = []

for _ in range(100):
    state = env.reset()
    total = 0
    for _ in range(200):
        action = env.action_space.sample()
        next_state, reward, done, _ = env.step(action)
        total += reward
        if done:
            break
    rewards.append(total)

env.close()

Reward Distribution Plotting

This cell visualizes the distribution of episode rewards.

• Convert to NumPy: Transforms the list of rewards into a NumPy array for easier analysis.
• Histogram: Displays how often rewards occur, using 20 bins and normalizing for probability density.
• Trend Line: Calculates the mean and standard deviation, then plots a bell-shaped curve (normal distribution estimate) to show the overall trend.
• Labels & Legend: Adds a title, axis labels, and a legend for clarity.

This helps compare the actual reward distribution against an estimated normal distribution.

# Convert to numpy array
rewards = np.array(rewards)

# Plot histogram
plt.hist(rewards, bins=20, density=True, alpha=0.6, color='skyblue', label='Histogram')

# Generate normal-like curve (trend line)
mean = rewards.mean()
std = rewards.std()
x = np.linspace(rewards.min(), rewards.max(), 100)
y = (1 / (std * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi))) * np.exp(-0.5 * ((x - mean) / std) ** 2)

# Plot the trend line
plt.plot(x, y, 'r--', linewidth=2, label='Estimated Trend')

# Labels and legend
plt.title("Reward Distribution (Random Policy)")
plt.xlabel("Total Episode Reward")
plt.ylabel("Density")
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Observation: Reward Distribution (Random Policy)

• The histogram shows that most episode rewards fall between -1400 and -900, with a notable concentration around -1050.
• The distribution is not perfectly symmetrical, suggesting variability in performance under the random policy.
• The estimated trend line (red dashed curve) loosely follows a bell-shaped pattern, but with irregularities caused by randomness in actions.
• Rewards are generally negative, as expected in the Pendulum environment when actions are not optimized.
• The spread of rewards indicates inconsistent performance, which is typical for a policy without learning.

Purpose of the Code

This cell samples a large number of states from the Pendulum-v0 environment using random actions, then analyzes the distribution of each state variable.

Steps Performed:

1. Environment Sampling:
   • Create a Pendulum environment and collect n_samples = 10,000 states.
   • For each sample:
     • Reset the environment.
     • Perform a random number of random actions (between 1 and 50 steps) to reach diverse states.
     • Record the resulting state.
2. Data Conversion:
   • Convert the list of sampled states into a NumPy array for easy processing.
3. Visualization:
   • Plot histograms for each of the three state variables:
     • cos(θ) — cosine of the pendulum angle.
     • sin(θ) — sine of the pendulum angle.
     • Angular Velocity — rate of change of the pendulum’s angle.
4. Statistical Summary:
   • Calculate and print the mean and standard deviation for each state variable.

Why This Is Done:

• Helps understand the state space coverage when using random actions.
• Gives insights into the typical ranges and distribution patterns of the environment’s state variables.
• Useful for designing preprocessing or normalization strategies before training a model.

Observations from the State Distributions

1. cos(θ) Distribution

   • The values are highly concentrated near -1 and 1, suggesting that the pendulum often spends time near the inverted position (θ ≈ π) and the upright position (θ ≈ 0).
   • Mid-range cos(θ) values are less frequent, meaning the pendulum passes through these angles more quickly.

2. sin(θ) Distribution

   • Similar to cos(θ), there are peaks near -1 and 1.
   • This indicates the pendulum reaches extreme angular positions frequently.
   • The more uniform middle section shows moderate time spent in intermediate angles.

3. Angular Velocity Distribution

   • Follows an approximately symmetric bell shape centered around 0.
   • Most velocities are moderate (close to 0), with fewer occurrences of high positive or negative angular velocities.
   • This suggests the pendulum is often slowing down near turning points.

Overall Insight:
The pendulum spends significant time near its extreme angles (both upright and inverted) with moderate angular velocities. Extreme velocities are less common, which aligns with the physics of pendulum motion — acceleration happens in mid-swing, but it slows at turning points.

Purpose of the Code

This cell samples a large number of states from the Pendulum-v0 environment using random actions, then analyzes the relationships between the three state variables.

Steps Performed:

1. Environment Sampling:
   • Create a Pendulum environment and collect n_samples = 5,000 states.
   • For each sample:
     • Reset the environment.
     • Perform a random number of random actions (between 1 and 30 steps) to reach diverse states.
     • Record the resulting state.
2. Data Conversion:
   • Convert the list of sampled states into a Pandas DataFrame with columns:
     • cos(θ) — cosine of the pendulum angle.
     • sin(θ) — sine of the pendulum angle.
     • Angular Velocity — rate of change of the pendulum’s angle.
3. Visualization:
   • Pairplot: Shows pairwise scatter plots and histograms to visualize relationships and distributions.
   • Correlation Heatmap: Displays the correlation matrix as a color-coded heatmap with annotated values.
4. Statistical Output:
   • Prints the numerical correlation matrix for reference.

Why This Is Done:

• Provides insights into how state variables relate to each other in the Pendulum environment.
• Helps identify potential redundancies or dependencies between features.
• Useful for understanding environment dynamics and for potential feature engineering or model input optimization.

Observations from the Visualizations

Pairplot of State Variables

• The scatter between cos(θ) and sin(θ) forms a near-perfect circle, reflecting their trigonometric relationship as components of the pendulum's angle.
• Histograms of cos(θ) and sin(θ) show peaks near -1 and 1, meaning the pendulum often stays near upright or inverted positions.
• Angular Velocity appears broadly distributed, suggesting random actions produce a wide range of rotational speeds.

Correlation Matrix

• All variable pairs have correlations close to zero, indicating minimal linear dependence.
• cos(θ) and sin(θ) are orthogonal components and thus not linearly correlated.
• Angular Velocity is nearly uncorrelated with both angular position variables, implying independence in these randomly sampled states.

Purpose of the Code

This cell explores how different constant torques (actions) affect the Pendulum-v0 state over a short horizon.

What it does

• Defines a grid of n_actions evenly spaced torques across the environment’s action bounds.
• For each torque:
  • Resets the environment.
  • Applies the same action 5 consecutive steps to see the cumulative effect.
  • Records the resulting state sequence: [cos(θ), sin(θ), angular_velocity].

What it plots

1. Final cos(θ) vs. action — how the pendulum’s final horizontal component responds to sustained torque.
2. Final sin(θ) vs. action — the vertical component’s response to sustained torque.
3. Final angular velocity vs. action — the change in rotational speed after repeatedly applying the action.
4. Angular velocity trajectories for a subset of actions — time series over the 5 steps to compare dynamics across actions.

Why this is useful

• Reveals the action–state sensitivity: which torques meaningfully change orientation or angular velocity over a few steps.
• Helps choose a reasonable discrete action set (spacing and range) for DQN-style agents.
• Provides intuition about system dynamics (e.g., near-linear vs. saturated response) before training.

Observations

1. cos(θ) vs. Action

   • No smooth or linear trend — the pendulum’s final horizontal position varies unpredictably with action.
   • Suggests strong non-linear dynamics and sensitivity to initial conditions.

2. sin(θ) vs. Action

   • Similar to cos(θ), the final vertical component changes irregularly with torque.
   • Confirms that the short-term orientation is not directly proportional to torque magnitude.

3. Angular Velocity vs. Action

   • Shows clearer directionality: larger positive torques generally produce higher final angular velocities, and vice versa.
   • However, noise and state variability cause some irregular points.

4. Angular Velocity Trajectories

   • Sustained positive torques steadily increase angular velocity.
   • Sustained negative torques decrease angular velocity.
   • Zero torque leads to minimal change, except for natural pendulum drift.

Key Takeaway:

• While angular velocity responds more predictably to torque, the pendulum’s position variables (cos(θ), sin(θ)) are chaotic over short horizons, highlighting the system’s non-linear, highly sensitive nature.

Purpose of the Code

This code visualizes the reward landscape of the Pendulum-v0 environment for different combinations of angle (θ) and angular velocity (ω) when no torque is applied.

Steps Performed:

1. State Grid Creation:

   • Define evenly spaced ranges for θ (from -π to π) and ω (from -8 to 8).
   • Create a meshgrid to evaluate rewards for every (θ, ω) pair.

2. Reward Calculation:

   • Approximate the Pendulum environment’s reward function: [ \text{Reward} = -\left(\theta^2 + 0.1 \cdot \omega^2\right) ] assuming action = 0.
   • Fill a grid with these reward values.

3. Visualization:

   • Heatmap: Shows how rewards vary over the (θ, ω) space in 2D.
   • 3D Surface Plot: Provides a 3D perspective of the same reward landscape.

4. Optimal State Identification:

   • Find the (θ, ω) pair that yields the highest reward.
   • Print the optimal state and maximum reward value.

Why This Is Done:

• Understanding the reward function’s shape helps in policy design and debugging.
• Highlights which states are most desirable (highest rewards) and which are penalized.
• Useful for visualizing the optimization target in reinforcement learning.

print(f"Optimal state: θ = {optimal_theta:.3f}, ω = {optimal_omega:.3f}")
print(f"Maximum reward: {max_reward:.3f}")

Optimal state: θ = 0.064, ω = -0.163
Maximum reward: -0.007

Observation from Visualization

Heatmap (Left):

• The brightest yellow region at the center (θ ≈ 0, ω ≈ 0) represents the highest rewards, indicating the pendulum is upright and stationary.
• Rewards decrease symmetrically as θ moves away from 0 (tilted pendulum) or as ω increases (faster spinning).
• The circular gradient pattern confirms the quadratic penalty in both angle and angular velocity.

3D Surface Plot (Right):

• The peak at the center corresponds to the optimal state with maximum reward.
• The surface slopes downward in all directions from the peak, forming a paraboloid shape.
• Sharp declines in reward occur for large deviations in either angle or velocity.

Key Insight:

• The optimal state found (θ = 0.064, ω = -0.163) is near-perfect balance with minimal movement.
• Any deviation from upright and still results in a negative reward, aligning with the pendulum’s control objective.

Purpose:
Generate and visualize state trajectories of the Pendulum-v0 environment under a random policy.

---

What the Code Does

• Runs 5 episodes, each with a maximum of 200 time steps.
• At each step:
  • Takes a random action from the action space.
  • Records the resulting state variables:
    1. cos(θ)
    2. sin(θ)
    3. Angular Velocity (ω)
• Stores each episode's sequence of states.
• Plots three separate time-series graphs:
  • cos(θ) vs. time step
  • sin(θ) vs. time step
  • Angular Velocity vs. time step
    Each episode is shown in a different color.

---

Why This is Useful

• Reveals the natural dynamics of the pendulum with no control.
• Highlights:
  • Periodic patterns in cos(θ) and sin(θ)
  • Chaotic or drifting behavior in angular velocity with random torques.
• Provides a baseline to compare against after training a control policy.

---

Key Observations

• cos(θ) and sin(θ) remain bounded in [-1, 1].
• Angular velocity (ω) can vary more widely but is clipped by the environment.
• In Pendulum-v0, episodes rarely terminate early (done=False), so all episodes run the full length.

---

Potential Improvements

• Apply a moving average or downsample for smoother visualizations.
• Overlay multiple episodes in the same plot for more direct comparison.

Observation: Random Policy State Trajectories

---

Key Patterns Seen:

1. cos(θ) and sin(θ)

   • Both oscillate smoothly between -1 and 1, reflecting the circular motion of the pendulum.
   • Different episodes show different oscillation phases due to random initial states and random actions.

2. Angular Velocity (ω)

   • Fluctuates within the range [-8, 8], which matches the environment’s limits.
   • Random actions cause both gradual drifts and rapid changes in velocity.
   • No consistent stabilizing trend — expected for a random policy.

---

Insights:

• The pendulum frequently crosses the vertical position, indicated by zero crossings in cos(θ) and sin(θ).
• Some episodes keep high angular velocities for extended periods, meaning the pendulum is spinning rather than swinging.
• This uncontrolled motion contrasts with what we’d expect after training, where angular velocity should stabilize near zero at the upright position.

---

Takeaway:

• The plot demonstrates baseline chaotic dynamics under a random policy.
• Serves as a control reference to measure how much a trained policy improves stability and control.

Purpose of the Code

This cell generates phase–space visualizations of the Pendulum-v0 dynamics under a random policy.

What it does

1. Rollout with random actions

   • Resets the env and steps 500 times using env.action_space.sample().
   • Saves the raw states: [cos(θ), sin(θ), ω].
   • Reconstructs the angle θ = atan2(sin(θ), cos(θ)) at each step.

2. Plots

   • Phase plot (θ vs. ω): shows how the system evolves in angle–angular-velocity space. Start and end points are highlighted.
   • Unit circle path (cos(θ) vs. sin(θ)): shows the trajectory around the unit circle, again marking start/end.

Why this is useful

• Phase plots reveal qualitative dynamics (spinning vs. swinging, energy levels, and whether motion is converging/diverging).
• The unit-circle plot confirms correct angle wrapping and shows how the pendulum traverses angles over time.
• These baselines make it easier to judge improvements once a trained policy produces tighter, more stable trajectories.

Observation from Visualization

1. Phase Plot (Angle θ vs Angular Velocity ω)

• The trajectory shows wide oscillations in both angle and angular velocity due to random actions.
• Motion spans nearly the full angular range (-π to π), indicating no stabilizing control.
• Angular velocity frequently changes direction, suggesting irregular momentum changes.

2. Unit Circle Representation (cos(θ) vs sin(θ))

• The path traces along the unit circle, confirming that the (cos(θ), sin(θ)) representation maintains a constant radius (pendulum length constraint).
• The motion covers a large portion of the circle, implying frequent full rotations rather than small swings.
• Start (green) and end (red) points are far apart, reflecting non-convergent, unstable dynamics.

Random Policy Visualization – Pendulum-v0

Process

1. Environment Setup

   • Used gym.make('Pendulum-v0') for the simulation.
   • Initialized with a random policy (actions sampled from env.action_space.sample()).

2. Frame Recording

   • Captured 200 steps or until the episode ended.
   • Each step stored as an RGB array for later processing.

3. Output Generation

   • Created an animated GIF (pendulum_random_policy.gif) with a framerate of 30 FPS.
   • Extracted 5 sample frames (start, quarter, mid, three-quarter, and end) for quick inspection.

Key Observations from Sample Frames

• Pendulum movement is erratic due to random actions.
• No stabilization — pendulum oscillates freely with large angular swings.
• Visuals confirm the state transitions observed in trajectory plots.

Output Files:

• GIF: pendulum_random_policy.gif
• Images: 5 sampled frames displayed for visual reference.

Observation – Sample Frames from Pendulum Episode

Visual Analysis

• Frame 0: Pendulum starts near an upright position, slightly tilted to the right.
• Frame 50: Swing has moved left, with a downward tilt.
• Frame 100: Pendulum continues oscillating without signs of stabilization.
• Frame 150: Arm extends horizontally to the left, indicating large angular displacement.
• Frame -1 (End): Pendulum remains in motion, nearly horizontal on the opposite side.

Key Takeaways

• Motion is chaotic and uncontrolled due to the random policy.
• No damping or balance behavior — energy is not directed toward stabilization.
• The pendulum repeatedly swings across its full range of motion.

Purpose of the Code — State-Visit Heatmaps (Pendulum-v0)

This cell measures which parts of the state space are visited by a random policy and visualizes that coverage.

What it does

1. Sample episodes
   Runs 100 episodes in Pendulum-v0, stepping with random actions and recording every state [cos(θ), sin(θ), ω].

2. Transform to interpretable features
   Converts (cos θ, sin θ) to angle θ via atan2, and extracts angular velocity ω.

3. Build discretized occupancy maps
   Creates three 2D histograms (heatmaps) showing visit frequency for:

   • θ vs ω (angle–velocity plane)
   • cos(θ) vs sin(θ) (unit circle coverage)
   • cos(θ) vs ω (angle proxy vs velocity)

4. Report coverage stats
   Prints min/max of θ and ω, and rough “most visited” regions using histogram mass.

Why this is useful

• Reveals state-space coverage from random exploration (are we seeing the whole space or stuck in regions?).
• Helps decide discretization ranges, normalization, and whether a policy needs better exploration.
• Provides a baseline to compare against trained policies (trained agents should concentrate around upright, low-ω states).

How to interpret the plots

• θ vs ω heatmap: Hot areas = frequently visited dynamics; uniform heat implies good exploratory spread.
• cos vs sin heatmap: Should approximate a ring if angles cover [-π, π]; gaps indicate poor angular coverage.
• cos vs ω heatmap: Shows coupling between pose and speed; vertical concentration near cos(θ)=1 with low |ω| would imply balancing.

Interpretation of State-Visit Heatmaps (Pendulum-v0)

1. θ vs ω (Angle–Velocity Plane)

• Observation: Bright vertical bands around θ ≈ ±π and ω ≈ 0.
• Meaning: The random policy frequently visits the hanging-down position (pendulum at bottom) with low angular velocity.
• Insight: High-energy states (large |ω|) are less visited because random torque is insufficient to sustain them often.

---

2. cos(θ) vs sin(θ) (Unit Circle)

• Observation: The visits form an almost perfect circle at radius ≈ 1, concentrated near the leftmost point (cos(θ) ≈ -1).
• Meaning: The pendulum mostly swings around the downward position; other angles are visited less frequently.
• Insight: Random exploration covers the circle but is biased toward downward configurations.

---

3. cos(θ) vs ω

• Observation: Hotspot near cos(θ) = -1 and ω ≈ 0, with spread along ω axis.
• Meaning: Confirms that most states are pendulum hanging down with small to moderate angular velocities.
• Insight: Trained policies aiming to balance upright will instead have hot regions near cos(θ) = 1 and ω ≈ 0.

---

Overall Takeaway

• Random policy heavily favors low-energy, downward states.
• State coverage is biased; some high-energy regions are rarely visited.
• For RL training, this explains why exploration enhancements (e.g., adding noise, curiosity rewards) can be necessary.

Models for Experimentation

In this project, I will be testing and comparing the performance of three reinforcement learning algorithms: Normal DQN, Noisy DQN, and Soft Actor-Critic (SAC). Each model has distinct characteristics that influence how it learns and adapts to the environment.

---

1. Normal DQN

The Deep Q-Network (DQN) is a value-based reinforcement learning algorithm that uses a neural network to approximate the Q-value function.

• Core Idea: Learn an action-value function ( Q(s,a) ) to estimate expected returns for each action.
• Key Features:
  • Uses an experience replay buffer to store past transitions and break correlation between samples.
  • Employs a target network to stabilize learning by reducing update oscillations.
  • Selects actions using an ε-greedy policy, balancing exploration and exploitation.
• Strengths: Simple, effective for discrete action spaces.
• Limitations: Can suffer from overestimation bias and unstable training in some environments.

---

2. Noisy DQN

The Noisy DQN is an enhancement of DQN that replaces the ε-greedy exploration strategy with parameterized noise in the network weights.

• Core Idea: Introduce trainable noise into the network to encourage consistent and state-dependent exploration.
• Key Features:
  • Noisy layers replace standard linear layers, injecting noise into weight parameters.
  • Eliminates the need for manually tuning ε in ε-greedy exploration.
  • Exploration adapts automatically during training as noise parameters are learned.
• Strengths: More efficient exploration, reduced reliance on random action selection.
• Limitations: Additional parameters to learn can slightly increase training complexity.

---

3. Soft Actor-Critic (SAC)

The Soft Actor-Critic is an off-policy actor-critic algorithm that optimizes both performance and exploration by maximizing a maximum entropy objective.

• Core Idea: Learn a stochastic policy that maximizes expected return and entropy, encouraging diverse action selection.
• Key Features:
  • Uses separate networks for the policy (actor) and Q-functions (critics).
  • Employs temperature parameter to control the trade-off between reward maximization and exploration.
  • Well-suited for continuous action spaces.
• Strengths: Stable learning, efficient exploration, and high sample efficiency.
• Limitations: More computationally demanding due to multiple networks and entropy tuning.

---

Summary Table

Model	Exploration Method	Action Space Suitability	Pros	Cons
Normal DQN	ε-greedy	Discrete	Simple, effective	Can be unstable, needs ε tuning
Noisy DQN	Noisy network parameters	Discrete	Adaptive exploration, no ε tuning	More parameters, slightly slower
SAC	Maximum entropy objective	Continuous	Stable, efficient, strong performance	Computationally heavier

Evaluation Criteria (Common Across All Models)

To fairly compare all reinforcement learning models applied to the pendulum environment, the following common metrics will be used:

1. Average Episode Reward

Measures the total reward collected per episode.
Higher values indicate better control and performance.

2. Reward Stability

Measured by the standard deviation of rewards across episodes.
Lower values reflect more consistent performance.

3. Learning Curve

Tracks reward over episodes to show how quickly a model improves.
Helps assess the speed and smoothness of learning.

4. Sample Efficiency

Indicates how fast the model reaches a satisfactory performance level.
Measured by the number of episodes or steps required to reach a specific reward threshold.

Enhanced DQN – Key Features and Purpose

Purpose

This code implements an Enhanced Deep Q-Network (DQN) agent for reinforcement learning tasks.
It is designed for environments with continuous state spaces (e.g., Pendulum-v0), where actions are discretized for compatibility with the DQN algorithm.
The goal is to provide a more stable, trackable, and flexible training process compared to a basic DQN.

---

Key Features

1. Discrete Action Mapping

• Converts a continuous action range into a fixed set of discrete actions.
• Allows DQN to be applied to tasks that are originally continuous control problems.

2. Dual Networks (Main & Target)

• Main network updates Q-values through training.
• Target network provides stable reference values, reducing overestimation and improving stability.

3. Epsilon-Greedy Exploration

• Starts with high exploration and gradually shifts to exploitation.
• epsilon_decay controls the rate of transition from random to greedy actions.

4. Experience Replay Buffer

• Stores past experiences (state, action, reward, next_state, done).
• Randomly samples batches to break correlation between sequential experiences.
• Adaptive batch size allows earlier learning with fewer samples.

5. Gradient and Q-value Tracking

• Uses tf.GradientTape() to compute and log gradient norms for stability monitoring.
• Records Q-values and losses over time to track learning behaviour.

6. Comprehensive Metrics Visualization

• Generates four plots for analysis:
  • Gradient over step – Detects instability or exploding gradients.
  • Loss over step – Tracks convergence.
  • Average Q-value over step – Monitors value estimation trends.
  • Episode return over time – Shows policy performance.

7. Testing Mode

• Runs the trained agent with exploration turned off.
• Reports performance across multiple test episodes.

---

Why These Features Matter

• Stability: Target network, gradient monitoring, and adaptive batching reduce training instability.
• Trackability: Detailed metric logging helps diagnose issues and compare with other algorithms.
• Flexibility: Works with continuous tasks via action discretization, making it adaptable to more environments.
• Performance: Better exploration-exploitation balance through controlled epsilon decay.

---

In short:
This Enhanced DQN is a more robust and insightful version of the basic DQN, tailored for both performance and research comparison with algorithms like Noisy DQN and SAC.

Observations and Insights – Enhanced DQN Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Healthy early spikes indicate strong learning signals as the network rapidly adjusts to new information.
  • Later stabilization suggests some level of convergence and more controlled parameter updates.
• Negative:
  • Multiple large gradient bursts late in training highlight relative instability in learning.
  • This suggests the policy can be disrupted by certain state transitions, which may cause occasional performance drops.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Clear downward trend after the initial rise shows Q-value predictions becoming more accurate over time.
  • Final low loss levels align with an overall effective policy.
• Negative:
  • Sudden spikes, especially mid-to-late training, point to instability in value estimation.
  • The sharp drop to very low loss could indicate reduced exploration or overfitting, making the agent less adaptable to new states.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Gradual upward trend towards zero reflects more realistic and improved return estimates.
• Negative:
  • Extreme variability early in training confirms unstable Q-value estimation during exploration.
  • Persistent sharp dips even late in training reinforce the notion that the model is relatively unstable, despite achieving high average episode returns.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Strong improvement in the first ~100 episodes indicates rapid learning and effective policy updates.
  • Plateauing near the upper range shows that the agent can consistently achieve good returns once converged.
• Negative:
  • Occasional deep drops in returns late in training suggest that the policy sometimes regresses.
  • This reinforces that while the model achieves high average returns, its stability is not guaranteed.

---

Overall Assessment

The Enhanced DQN demonstrates strong performance in terms of average episode returns and is capable of converging quickly to a high-reward policy.
However, it is relatively unstable, as seen from:

• Gradient spikes in later training stages.
• Q-value fluctuations even after apparent convergence.
• Occasional severe drops in episode returns.

Potential Improvements

• Stability-focused tweaks such as more frequent target network updates or smaller learning rates could help reduce volatility.
• Maintain a slower epsilon decay to ensure continued exploration and avoid early convergence to unstable policies.
• Introduce gradient clipping to mitigate sudden large updates that destabilize training.

DQN Training Loop and Evaluation

• What: This cell runs the main training loop for the DQN agent, updating the Q-network, storing experiences, and periodically evaluating performance.
• Why: The training loop is the core of the RL process, allowing the agent to learn from interactions with the environment.
• Assumptions: Assumes correct implementation of experience replay, Q-network updates, and evaluation logic.

NoisyDqn

Enhanced Noisy DQN – Code Overview

This implementation extends a standard Deep Q-Network (DQN) by adding parameter noise for exploration, along with enhanced metric tracking for fair comparison against other models like standard DQN and SAC.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random are fixed for consistent results across runs.
• Discrete Action Space:
  Continuous Pendulum actions are discretized into a fixed set: [-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0].
• Config Parameters:
  Defaults match other models for fair comparison:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.95
  • learning_rate: 0.001
  • batch_size: 32
  • target_update_freq: 10 steps
  • memory_size: 10,000 experiences
  • noise_std: 0.1 (controls parameter noise)
  • min_batch_size: 8 (enables early training)

---

2. Model Architecture

• Two fully connected layers with 32 ReLU units each.
• Output layer: Linear activation with size = number of discrete actions.
• Target Network: Maintains a lagged copy of the main model for stable Q-value updates.

---

3. Parameter Noise for Exploration

• Unlike ε-greedy, exploration here is done by perturbing network weights:
  • Noise is added to both kernel and bias of each layer.
  • A temporary noisy copy of the network is used for action selection.
• Encourages state-dependent exploration and more diverse behavior than random action selection.

---

4. Experience Replay

• Transitions (state, action, reward, next_state, done) are stored in a deque buffer.
• Random minibatches are sampled to break correlation between consecutive steps.
• Supports adaptive batch size starting from min_batch_size to batch_size.

---

5. Training Process (replay method)

• Current Q-values: Predicted by the main network.
• Target Q-values: Computed from the target network.
• Loss Function: Mean Squared Error (MSE) between predicted and target Q-values.
• Gradients: Tracked for analysis; norm is recorded to monitor stability.
• Optimizer: Adam, applied to network weights.
• Target Network Update: Performed every target_update_freq training steps.

---

6. Training Loop (train method)

• Runs for a fixed number of episodes (default = 150).
• Each step:
  1. Selects an action using the noisy network.
  2. Executes action in the environment.
  3. Stores experience in replay buffer.
  4. Trains the network if enough samples are available.
• Metrics tracked:
  • Episode rewards
  • Loss over time
  • Q-values over time
  • Gradient norms over time

---

7. Comprehensive Metrics Plotting

• 4-panel visualization:
  1. Gradient over step
  2. Loss over step
  3. Average Q-value over step
  4. Episode return over time
• Matches plotting style of other models to enable direct performance comparison.

---

8. Testing Mode

• Runs a fixed number of episodes without parameter noise.
• Reports per-episode rewards and average test performance.
• Helps verify if the learned policy generalizes beyond training episodes.

---

Key Differences from Standard DQN

• Exploration Method: Uses parameter noise instead of ε-greedy.
• More Frequent Target Updates: Improves stability in noisy learning environments.
• Enhanced Tracking: Same metrics as other models for fair side-by-side analysis.

---

Purpose

This code is designed to:

1. Test whether parameter noise leads to more robust exploration and higher returns compared to ε-greedy DQN.
2. Maintain experimental fairness with other models by matching architecture, hyperparameters, and evaluation metrics.
3. Provide detailed training diagnostics for identifying stability issues and convergence behavior.

Observations and Insights – Noisy DQN Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • High early spikes (~200–400) indicate strong initial learning signals and rapid adaptation to the environment.
  • Gradual settling after ~20k steps shows periods of more controlled updates.
• Negative:
  • Multiple large bursts appear throughout training, reflecting instability from parameter noise.
  • These spikes suggest the policy can still be significantly perturbed late in training, potentially causing return drops.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Clear decline from >150 to a stable lower range (~10–30) indicates more accurate Q-value estimation over time.
  • Consistent low values in later stages show the network can maintain a learned policy effectively.
• Negative:
  • Frequent mid-to-late stage spikes hint at unstable value estimation caused by noisy exploration.
  • Sudden drops in loss could signal reduced exploration or overfitting to frequent state transitions.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Gradual shift from highly negative values (< -150) toward positive (~0–50) reflects better action-value prediction and policy confidence.
  • Maintains generally upward trajectory despite noise.
• Negative:
  • Large early volatility confirms unstable Q-value estimation during exploration.
  • Sharp dips continue even late in training, reinforcing that the model remains somewhat unstable despite high performance.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Rapid jump from ~-1800 to ~-250 in the first 100 episodes shows fast learning and effective exploration.
  • High average returns are sustained for much of training.
• Negative:
  • Deep episodic drops appear even after convergence, indicating occasional policy regression.
  • This highlights that while returns are strong on average, stability is not guaranteed.

---

Overall Assessment

Noisy DQN achieves fast learning and high episode averages due to effective exploration from parameter noise.
However, it is relatively unstable, with signs including:

• Frequent gradient bursts later in training.
• Persistent Q-value fluctuations after convergence.
• Episodic return drops despite overall strong performance.

Potential Improvements

• Reduce noise standard deviation gradually to stabilise late-stage learning.
• Apply gradient clipping to prevent large, destabilising updates.
• Consider combining Noisy DQN with Double Q-learning to mitigate overestimation while retaining exploration benefits.

SAC

Enhanced SAC (Soft Actor-Critic) – Code Overview

This implementation provides a comprehensive Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) agent designed for continuous control tasks like the Pendulum environment, with enhanced metric tracking for direct comparison against DQN variants.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across runs.
• Continuous Action Space:
  Handles native continuous actions in range [-2.0, 2.0] without discretization.
• Config Parameters:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.99
  • learning_rate: 3e-4
  • batch_size: 64
  • tau: 0.005 (soft update rate)
  • alpha: 0.2 (entropy regularization)
  • buffer_size: 50,000 experiences

---

2. Model Architecture

• Actor Network: Outputs both mean (mu) and log standard deviation (log_std) for Gaussian policy
  • Two hidden layers with 64 ReLU units each
  • Tanh activation for mean, scaled to [-2, 2]
  • Clipped log_std to prevent numerical instability
• Critic Networks: Twin Q-networks (Q1, Q2) that take state-action pairs
  • Two hidden layers with 64 ReLU units each
  • Concatenated state-action input
• Target Networks: Soft-updated copies of both critics for stable learning

---

3. Soft Actor-Critic Algorithm

• Maximum Entropy RL: Balances reward maximization with policy entropy for better exploration
• Twin Critics: Uses minimum of two Q-values to reduce overestimation bias
• Stochastic Policy: Gaussian policy with learnable variance for continuous actions
• Soft Updates: Gradual target network updates using tau parameter instead of hard copies

---

4. Experience Replay

• Circular Buffer: Stores transitions (state, action, reward, next_state, done) with automatic overwrite
• Random Sampling: Breaks temporal correlations between consecutive experiences
• Large Capacity: 50K experiences for diverse training data

---

5. Training Process (train_step_sac method)

• Twin Q-Learning: Updates both Q-networks using target Q-values from the minimum of target networks
• Policy Update: Maximizes expected Q-value plus entropy term for exploration
• Entropy Calculation: Computes log probability of Gaussian actions for regularization
• Gradient Tracking: Records individual and combined gradient norms for all networks
• Soft Target Updates: Applies exponential moving average to target network weights

---

6. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Individual Metrics: Separate tracking for Q1, Q2, and actor losses and gradients
• Combined Metrics: Averaged losses and gradients for fair comparison with DQN variants
• Q-Value Sampling: Periodic Q-value recording during action selection
• Comprehensive Logging: Episode returns, training steps, and buffer status

---

7. Visualization Suite

• 4-Panel Main Plot: Matches DQN format (gradient, loss, Q-values, episode returns)
• 6-Panel Detailed Plot: Individual SAC components (Q1/Q2/Actor losses and gradients)
• Progress Monitoring: Real-time training statistics and buffer management

---

8. Testing and Evaluation

• Deterministic Testing: Uses mean action without sampling for consistent evaluation
• Multiple Episodes: Averages performance over several test runs
• Render Support: Optional visualization of learned policy execution

---

Key Differences from DQN Variants

• Continuous Actions: No discretization required, handles native continuous control
• Maximum Entropy: Explicitly encourages exploration through entropy regularization
• Twin Critics: Reduces Q-value overestimation through double Q-learning
• Stochastic Policy: Learnable exploration policy vs. ε-greedy or parameter noise
• Soft Updates: Gradual target network updates for improved stability

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Benchmark continuous control performance against discrete DQN variants in the Pendulum environment
2. Provide fair comparison metrics using the same visualization and tracking framework
3. Demonstrate state-of-the-art actor-critic methods with entropy regularization for robust exploration
4. Enable detailed analysis of SAC-specific components (twin critics, entropy terms, soft updates)

Observations and Insights – Enhanced SAC Training

Detailed SAC Metrics Analysis

1. Q1 & Q2 Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Both Q-networks maintain extremely low losses (~0) for the first 60,000 steps, indicating stable value function learning during early exploration.
  • Synchronized explosion pattern shows the twin critics are working together as designed.
• Negative:
  • Massive loss spikes (>35,000) after step 60,000 suggest severe overestimation or numerical instability.
  • The synchronized timing of Q1 and Q2 explosions indicates a systemic issue rather than isolated network problems.

2. Actor Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Smooth progression from 0 to positive values (~100-200) shows the policy is learning to maximize Q-values effectively.
  • Gradual decline toward the end suggests policy convergence and reduced exploration needs.
• Negative:
  • Sharp drop to highly negative values (-600 to -800) coincides with Q-network instability, indicating the actor is being misled by unreliable Q-value estimates.

3. Q1 & Q2 Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Low, stable gradients for the first 60,000 steps demonstrate controlled learning without exploding gradients.
  • Similar patterns between Q1 and Q2 confirm the twin critic architecture is functioning as intended.
• Negative:
  • Extreme gradient spikes (>40,000) occur exactly when losses explode, confirming training instability.
  • Such large gradients can corrupt learned representations and require gradient clipping.

4. Actor Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Relatively stable gradients throughout most of training show the policy network remains trainable.
  • Lower magnitude compared to critics suggests the actor is less affected by the value function instability.
• Negative:
  • Sudden spikes (>1,000) in final stages indicate the actor is still being destabilized by unreliable Q-value signals.

---

Main Learning Progress Analysis

1. Gradient Over Step (Combined)

• Positive:
  • Smooth, controlled increase from 0 to ~5,000 over 60,000 steps shows healthy learning progression.
  • Averaging across all networks provides a cleaner signal than individual components.
• Negative:
  • Explosive growth to >25,000 after step 60,000 indicates complete training breakdown.
  • The exponential pattern suggests accumulating numerical errors rather than beneficial learning.

2. Loss Over Step (Combined)

• Positive:
  • Extended period of near-zero loss (first 60,000 steps) demonstrates the algorithm can maintain stability initially.
  • Combined metric successfully captures the overall training health.
• Negative:
  • Catastrophic loss explosion (>20,000) mirrors the gradient instability and confirms algorithmic failure.
  • No recovery pattern suggests the training cannot self-correct once instability begins.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Steady climb from negative values (~-200) to positive (~800) shows improving value estimation and policy quality.
  • The upward trend indicates the agent is learning to identify higher-value states and actions.
• Negative:
  • High volatility throughout training suggests Q-value estimates are noisy and potentially unreliable.
  • Sharp fluctuations near the end coincide with the loss/gradient explosions.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Dramatic improvement from -1,500 to -200 within 100 episodes shows rapid initial learning.
  • Sustained performance around -200 to -300 for 200+ episodes demonstrates the agent learned a viable policy.
  • Final improvement to near-zero returns shows excellent pendulum control was achieved.
• Negative:
  • Sudden performance collapse in final episodes (drops to -1,500) corresponds exactly to the training instability.
  • This confirms that the loss/gradient explosions directly damaged the learned policy.

---

Overall Assessment

Enhanced SAC demonstrates excellent initial learning and strong policy performance but suffers from catastrophic training instability in later stages. Key findings:

Strengths:

• Rapid convergence to near-optimal performance (-200 to 0 returns)
• Stable twin critic learning for extended periods
• Effective continuous action control without discretization

Critical Issues:

• Systematic training breakdown after 60,000+ steps
• Synchronized loss/gradient explosions across all networks
• Complete policy degradation despite prior success

Potential Improvements

• Gradient Clipping: Implement aggressive gradient norm clipping (e.g., max norm = 10)
• Learning Rate Scheduling: Reduce learning rates after initial convergence to prevent late-stage instability
• Target Network Update Rate: Decrease tau value (e.g., 0.001) for more conservative target updates
• Loss Function Regularization: Add L2 regularization to prevent extreme parameter values
• Early Stopping: Monitor loss trends and halt training before catastrophic failure
• Entropy Coefficient Scheduling: Gradually reduce alpha to decrease exploration

DQN Model Improvements

The following cells implement various architectural and algorithmic improvements to the baseline DQN model to enhance performance, stability, and learning efficiency.

Double DQN – Code Overview

This implementation extends the baseline DQN by incorporating Double Q-learning to reduce overestimation bias, while maintaining the same architecture and hyperparameters for fair comparison against other DQN variants.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across experiments.
• Discrete Action Space:
  Continuous Pendulum actions are discretized into 5 fixed values: [-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0].
• Config Parameters:
  Matches baseline DQN for fair comparison:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.95
  • learning_rate: 0.001
  • epsilon_decay: 0.995
  • batch_size: 32
  • memory_size: 10,000 experiences
  • target_update_freq: Every 10 episodes

---

2. Model Architecture

• Network Structure: Identical to baseline DQN
  • Two fully connected layers with 32 ReLU units each
  • Linear output layer with 5 units (one per discrete action)
• Target Network: Maintains a separate copy for stable Q-value targets
• Optimizer: Adam with MSE loss function

---

3. Double Q-Learning Algorithm

• Key Innovation: Decouples action selection from Q-value evaluation to reduce overestimation bias
• Action Selection: Uses main network to select best action: argmax_a Q_main(s', a)
• Q-Value Evaluation: Uses target network to evaluate selected action: Q_target(s', a_selected)
• Target Calculation: Q_target = r + γ * Q_target(s', argmax_a Q_main(s', a))

---

4. Experience Replay

• Buffer Management: Deque with 10,000 capacity for automatic memory management
• Sampling Strategy: Random minibatches to break temporal correlations
• Adaptive Batch Size: Starts with min_batch_size (8) and scales up to full batch_size (32)

---

5. Training Process (replay method)

• Current Q-Values: Predicted by the main network for all actions
• Action Selection: Main network identifies best actions for next states
• Target Q-Values: Target network evaluates the selected actions
• Loss Function: Mean Squared Error between predicted and target Q-values
• Gradient Tracking: Records gradient norms for stability monitoring
• Target Updates: Hard copy of main network weights every 10 episodes

---

6. Exploration Strategy

• Epsilon-Greedy: Same as baseline DQN
  • Initial epsilon: 1.0 (100% random)
  • Minimum epsilon: 0.1 (10% random)
  • Decay rate: 0.995 per training step
• Action Selection: Random action during exploration, greedy action during exploitation

---

7. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Episode Returns: Total reward per episode for learning curve analysis
• Loss Values: Training loss over time to monitor convergence
• Q-Values: Average Q-values during action selection for value function analysis
• Gradient Norms: Gradient magnitudes to detect training instability
• Training Steps: Comprehensive step-by-step progress tracking

---

8. Visualization and Testing

• 4-Panel Plot: Matches other models (gradient, loss, Q-values, episode returns)
• Testing Mode: Deterministic policy evaluation without exploration noise
• Performance Metrics: Average test rewards over multiple episodes

---

Key Differences from Baseline DQN

• Overestimation Bias Reduction: Double Q-learning prevents the maximization bias inherent in standard DQN
• Action Selection vs. Evaluation: Separates the process of choosing actions from evaluating their Q-values
• Improved Stability: More reliable Q-value estimates lead to more stable learning
• Same Architecture: Maintains identical network structure for fair comparison

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Test overestimation bias reduction in Q-learning for the Pendulum environment
2. Maintain experimental fairness with identical hyperparameters and architecture to baseline DQN
3. Provide direct performance comparison using the same metrics and visualization framework
4. Demonstrate Double Q-learning benefits without introducing additional complexity

Observations and Insights – Double DQN Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Gradual increase in gradient magnitude during early steps suggests the network is actively learning from varied experiences.
  • Mid-training drop in gradients (~30k–60k steps) implies a temporary stabilization phase where updates are smaller and more controlled.
• Negative:
  • Large gradient spikes (especially near 20k and 80k+ steps) indicate periods of unstable learning, possibly caused by outlier experiences or Q-value overcorrection.
  • The late-stage volatility hints that the policy never fully converges to a completely stable parameter set.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Clear reduction in loss after initial rise (~0–25k steps) shows improved Q-value accuracy over time.
  • Extended low-loss period between ~30k–70k steps aligns with relatively stable training.
• Negative:
  • Spikes in loss both early and late in training suggest sensitivity to certain transitions or state-action distributions.
  • Sudden loss bursts in the final steps could signal the agent’s difficulty in maintaining accurate value estimates under its learned policy.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Gradual movement toward zero suggests more realistic value predictions compared to the overly negative starting point.
  • Late training shows the Q-values clustering closer to 0, which is typical as the policy optimizes for maximum expected return.
• Negative:
  • Early rapid decline to extremely negative values (~-140) reflects instability during initial exploration.
  • Persistent sharp dips throughout training, even in later stages, indicate noisy and inconsistent Q-value estimation.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Steep improvement in returns within the first ~100 episodes shows rapid adaptation to the environment.
  • Once trained, the agent sustains performance around -200, suggesting it learned a generally effective control policy.
• Negative:
  • High variance in returns late in training, with occasional deep drops, suggests the policy can regress unexpectedly.
  • This reinforces that stability remains a challenge despite the agent’s high average returns.

---

Overall Assessment

The Double DQN demonstrates strong learning ability and quick reward improvement, but with noticeable instability patterns:

• Gradient and loss spikes at multiple training phases.
• Fluctuating Q-values even near convergence.
• Returns that, while high on average, still show abrupt performance drops.

Potential Improvements

• Gradient Clipping to prevent destabilizing updates during spikes.
• Longer Target Update Interval to smooth Q-value learning.

Dueling DQN – Code Overview

This implementation incorporates the Dueling Network Architecture that separates value and advantage estimation, enabling better learning of state values independent of action choices while maintaining compatibility with the baseline DQN framework.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across experiments.
• Discrete Action Space:
  Continuous Pendulum actions are discretized into 5 fixed values: [-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0].
• Config Parameters:
  Matches baseline DQN for fair comparison:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.95
  • learning_rate: 0.001
  • epsilon_decay: 0.995
  • batch_size: 32
  • memory_size: 10,000 experiences
  • target_update_freq: Every 10 episodes

---

2. Dueling Network Architecture

• Shared Layers: Two fully connected layers with 32 ReLU units each (same as baseline)
• Value Stream:
  • 16-unit ReLU layer → 1-unit linear output
  • Estimates V(s) - the value of being in state s
• Advantage Stream:
  • 16-unit ReLU layer → 5-unit linear output (one per action)
  • Estimates A(s,a) - the advantage of taking action a in state s
• Q-Value Combination: Q(s,a) = V(s) + A(s,a) - mean(A(s,·))
  • Subtracts mean advantage to ensure identifiability and stable learning

---

3. Dueling Architecture Benefits

• State Value Learning: Can learn the value of states independent of action choices
• Better Generalization: Useful when many actions have similar Q-values
• Faster Learning: Value stream provides better bootstrapping for temporal difference learning
• Action Advantage Focus: Advantage stream highlights which actions are better/worse relative to average

---

4. Experience Replay

• Buffer Management: Deque with 10,000 capacity for automatic memory management
• Sampling Strategy: Random minibatches to break temporal correlations
• Adaptive Batch Size: Starts with min_batch_size (8) and scales up to full batch_size (32)

---

5. Training Process (replay method)

• Current Q-Values: Predicted by the main dueling network combining value and advantage streams
• Target Q-Values: Computed using target dueling network with standard DQN update rule
• Loss Function: Mean Squared Error between predicted and target Q-values
• Gradient Tracking: Records gradient norms across all network parameters (shared + value + advantage)
• Target Updates: Hard copy of main network weights every 10 episodes

---

6. Exploration Strategy

• Epsilon-Greedy: Identical to baseline DQN
  • Initial epsilon: 1.0 (100% random)
  • Minimum epsilon: 0.1 (10% random)
  • Decay rate: 0.995 per training step
• Action Selection: Uses combined Q-values from dueling architecture for greedy action selection

---

7. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Episode Returns: Total reward per episode for learning curve analysis
• Loss Values: Training loss over time to monitor convergence
• Q-Values: Average Q-values during action selection (from combined V+A streams)
• Gradient Norms: Gradient magnitudes across all network components
• Training Steps: Comprehensive step-by-step progress tracking

---

8. Visualization and Testing

• 4-Panel Plot: Matches other models (gradient, loss, Q-values, episode returns)
• Testing Mode: Deterministic policy evaluation using learned dueling architecture
• Performance Metrics: Average test rewards over multiple episodes

---

Key Differences from Baseline DQN

• Architectural Innovation: Separates state value estimation from action advantage estimation
• Improved Learning Efficiency: Can learn state values even when optimal actions are unclear
• Enhanced Representation: Explicitly models the intuition that some states are inherently valuable
• Identifiability Constraint: Mean advantage subtraction ensures unique decomposition of Q-values
• Same Training Algorithm: Uses standard DQN updates but with improved network architecture

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Test architectural improvements in value function representation for the Pendulum environment
2. Maintain experimental fairness with identical hyperparameters and training procedures
3. Demonstrate dueling benefits in environments where state values vary significantly
4. Provide direct comparison against baseline DQN using the same evaluation framework
5. Show how network architecture changes can improve learning without

Observations and Insights – Dueling DQN Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Strong early growth in gradient magnitude (~0–25k steps) reflects active learning and large policy adjustments.
  • Mid-training stabilization (~40k–70k steps) shows the network entering a more controlled update phase.
• Negative:
  • Very large spikes (~200+) around 20k steps and again after 80k steps indicate instability or overcorrection in parameter updates.
  • Late-stage gradient volatility suggests the model never fully settles into a stable solution.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Clear downward trend after the initial rise shows improved accuracy in Q-value estimation.
  • Extended low-loss plateau (~40k–80k steps) aligns with more consistent training.
• Negative:
  • Significant spikes both early and late in training suggest the model is sensitive to certain transitions.
  • Final bursts in loss may indicate difficulties maintaining precise value predictions under the learned policy.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Gradual climb toward zero from highly negative values reflects improved and more realistic value predictions.
  • Smaller oscillations late in training show partial stabilization.
• Negative:
  • Rapid early drop to around -120 indicates instability in value estimation during initial exploration.
  • Frequent sharp dips even late in training highlight persistent noise in Q-value predictions.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Rapid improvement in returns within the first ~100 episodes shows effective learning and adaptation.
  • Sustained performance near the higher return range (~-200) indicates a generally strong control policy.
• Negative:
  • High return variance late in training shows that the agent’s policy can still regress suddenly.
  • This reinforces that while the model achieves strong returns, stability is not fully guaranteed.

---

Overall Assessment

The Dueling DQN achieves fast learning and high average returns, but:

• Suffers from gradient and loss spikes in multiple phases.
• Exhibits Q-value fluctuations even after apparent convergence.
• Shows occasional drops in episode returns despite overall good performance.

Potential Improvements

• Gradient clipping to smooth out large, destabilizing updates.
• More frequent target network updates to reduce Q-value oscillations.
• Slightly slower epsilon decay to maintain beneficial exploration longer.

  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across experiments.
• Discrete Action Space:
  Continuous Pendulum actions are discretized into 5 fixed values: [-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0].
• Config Parameters:
  Matches baseline DQN for fair comparison:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.95
  • learning_rate: 0.001
  • epsilon_decay: 0.995
  • batch_size: 32
  • memory_size: 10,000 experiences
  • alpha: 0.6 (priority exponent)
  • beta: 0.4 → 1.0 (importance sampling correction)

---

2. Prioritized Replay Buffer

• Priority-Based Storage: Experiences stored with TD error-based priorities
• Sampling Strategy: Probability proportional to priority: P(i) = priority_i^α / Σ priority_j^α
• Importance Sampling: Corrects bias with weights: w_i = (N * P(i))^(-β)
• Priority Updates: Continuously updated based on new TD errors during training
• Maximum Priority Assignment: New experiences get highest current priority

---

3. Network Architecture

• Model Structure: Identical to baseline DQN
  • Two fully connected layers with 32 ReLU units each
  • Linear output layer with 5 units (one per discrete action)
• Target Network: Maintains separate copy for stable Q-value targets
• Optimizer: Adam with MSE loss function

---

4. Prioritized Experience Replay Algorithm

• TD Error Calculation: |r + γ * max Q_target(s', a') - Q_main(s, a)|
• Priority Assignment: TD error magnitude determines sampling probability
• Weighted Loss: Importance sampling weights correct for biased sampling
• Priority Updates: Recalculate priorities based on fresh TD errors after each update
• Beta Annealing: Gradually increase β from 0.4 to 1.0 for full bias correction

---

5. Training Process (replay method)

• Priority-Based Sampling: Select experiences with higher TD errors more frequently
• Current Q-Values: Predicted by main network for sampled batch
• Target Q-Values: Computed using target network with standard DQN rule
• TD Error Tracking: Calculate individual TD errors for priority updates
• Weighted Loss Function: Apply importance sampling weights to correct sampling bias
• Priority Buffer Updates: Refresh priorities based on new TD errors

---

6. Exploration Strategy

• Epsilon-Greedy: Identical to baseline DQN
  • Initial epsilon: 1.0 (100% random)
  • Minimum epsilon: 0.1 (10% random)
  • Decay rate: 0.995 per training step
• Action Selection: Uses Q-values from main network for greedy selection

---

7. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Episode Returns: Total reward per episode for learning curve analysis
• Weighted Loss: Priority-corrected loss values over time
• Q-Values: Average Q-values during action selection
• Gradient Norms: Gradient magnitudes to monitor training stability
• Beta Progression: Importance sampling correction factor evolution
• Buffer Statistics: Priority distribution and sampling effectiveness

---

8. Visualization and Testing

• 4-Panel Plot: Matches other models (gradient, weighted loss, Q-values, episode returns)
• Testing Mode: Deterministic policy evaluation without prioritized sampling
• Performance Metrics: Average test rewards over multiple episodes

---

Key Differences from Baseline DQN

• Sample Efficiency: Focuses learning on high-error transitions for faster convergence
• Importance Sampling: Corrects bias introduced by non-uniform sampling
• Dynamic Priorities: Continuously updates experience importance based on learning progress
• Replay Strategy: Replaces uniform random sampling with priority-based selection
• Bias Correction: Gradually increases importance sampling weights to ensure convergence

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Improve sample efficiency by learning more from informative experiences in the Pendulum environment
2. Maintain algorithmic correctness through importance sampling bias correction

Observations and Insights – Prioritized DQN Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Early controlled gradient growth (~0–20k steps) indicates stable but active learning.
  • Moderate spikes suggest the model responds strongly to prioritized transitions, reinforcing learning from critical experiences.
• Negative:
  • Frequent spikes throughout training, especially after 60k steps, reflect instability introduced by high-TD-error samples.
  • The model never fully eliminates gradient volatility, suggesting sensitivity to replay buffer sampling priorities.

2. Weighted Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Initial high loss followed by a clear downward trend indicates improving Q-value accuracy over time.
  • Long stable low-loss phases (~40k–100k steps) reflect effective convergence for many state-action pairs.
• Negative:
  • Persistent small spikes throughout training imply that challenging or novel transitions still cause prediction errors.
  • Early instability with large initial loss may slow policy stabilization compared to uniform replay.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Gradual shift toward zero from highly negative values shows more realistic reward estimation.
  • Final clustering near zero is consistent with a mature, reward-maximizing policy.
• Negative:
  • Large fluctuations remain throughout training, indicating noisy and inconsistent Q-value predictions.
  • Deep dips even late in training suggest that priority sampling occasionally feeds destabilizing transitions.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Rapid early improvement (~0–100 episodes) reflects fast adaptation due to prioritized replay efficiency.
  • High sustained returns indicate that the learned policy performs consistently well overall.
• Negative:
  • Small but persistent return variance late in training suggests minor instability in decision-making.
  • Occasional performance dips confirm that the agent can momentarily regress despite high averages.

---

Overall Assessment

The Prioritized DQN delivers fast learning, high long-term returns, and strong sample efficiency, but:

• Suffers from consistent gradient/Q-value volatility.
• Remains sensitive to rare or extreme experiences.
• Has occasional return dips even when converged.

Potential Improvements

• Tune priority exponent (α) and importance-sampling exponent (β) to balance learning speed and stability.
• Gradient clipping to prevent destabilizing parameter jumps.
• Replay buffer regularization (e.g., mixing in some uniform samples) to reduce bias and instability.

Reward Normalized DQN – Code Overview

This implementation incorporates reward normalization and clipping to stabilize training by standardizing reward scales and preventing extreme values from disrupting learning, while maintaining the baseline DQN architecture for fair comparison.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across experiments.
• Discrete Action Space:
  Continuous Pendulum actions are discretized into 5 fixed values: [-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0].
• Config Parameters:
  Matches baseline DQN for fair comparison:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.95
  • learning_rate: 0.001
  • epsilon_decay: 0.995
  • batch_size: 32
  • memory_size: 10,000 experiences
  • clip_range: 5.0 (reward clipping bounds)

---

2. Reward Normalization System

• Running Statistics: Maintains rolling mean and standard deviation over last 1,000 rewards
• Normalization Formula: (reward - mean) / (std + 1e-8) to standardize reward scale
• Clipping: Bounds normalized rewards to [-5.0, 5.0] to prevent extreme values
• History Tracking: Deque buffer stores recent rewards for statistical updates
• Adaptive Updates: Statistics recalculated continuously as new rewards arrive

---

3. Network Architecture

• Model Structure: Identical to baseline DQN
  • Two fully connected layers with 32 ReLU units each
  • Linear output layer with 5 units (one per discrete action)
• Target Network: Maintains separate copy for stable Q-value targets
• Optimizer: Adam with MSE loss function

---

4. Reward Processing Pipeline

• Raw Reward Collection: Original environment rewards stored in history buffer
• Statistical Update: Running mean and standard deviation recalculated when buffer has >10 samples
• Normalization: Converts raw rewards to standardized scale with zero mean, unit variance
• Clipping: Applies bounds to prevent outlier rewards from destabilizing training
• Storage: Normalized and clipped rewards stored in replay buffer for training

---

5. Training Process (replay method)

• Experience Sampling: Random batch selection from replay buffer (containing normalized rewards)
• Current Q-Values: Predicted by main network for current states
• Target Q-Values: Computed using target network with normalized reward targets
• Loss Calculation: Standard MSE between predicted and target Q-values
• Gradient Tracking: Records gradient norms and normalized reward statistics
• Target Updates: Hard copy of main network weights every 10 episodes

---

6. Exploration Strategy

• Epsilon-Greedy: Identical to baseline DQN
  • Initial epsilon: 1.0 (100% random)
  • Minimum epsilon: 0.1 (10% random)
  • Decay rate: 0.995 per training step
• Action Selection: Uses Q-values from main network for greedy selection

---

7. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Episode Returns: Original (unnormalized) total reward per episode for interpretable learning curves
• Loss Values: Training loss over time using normalized rewards
• Q-Values: Average Q-values during action selection
• Gradient Norms: Gradient magnitudes to monitor training stability
• Reward Statistics: Real-time tracking of reward mean and standard deviation
• Normalization Progress: Monitor how reward scaling evolves during training

---

8. Visualization and Testing

• 4-Panel Plot: Matches other models (gradient, loss, Q-values, episode returns)
• Original Scale Reporting: Episode returns shown in original reward scale for interpretability
• Testing Mode: Uses trained policy without additional reward normalization
• Performance Metrics: Average test rewards in original scale

---

Key Differences from Baseline DQN

• Reward Standardization: Converts varying reward scales to consistent normalized range
• Training Stability: Prevents extreme rewards from causing gradient explosions or vanishing
• Adaptive Scaling: Continuously updates normalization based on observed reward distribution
• Outlier Protection: Clipping prevents rare extreme values from disrupting learning
• Scale Independence: Makes algorithm less sensitive to environment-specific reward design

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Improve training stability by standardizing reward scales in the Pendulum environment
2. Reduce sensitivity to reward design choices and extreme values
3. Maintain fair comparison with identical network architecture and hyperparameters
4. Demonstrate normalization benefits for environments with challenging reward distributions
5. Provide robust learning that adapts to changing

Observations and Insights – Reward Normalized DQN Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Well-controlled gradient magnitudes throughout training, peaking around 30-35 without explosive growth.
  • Clear learning phases: initial stability (0-20k steps), active learning (20k-40k steps), then gradual stabilization.
  • Successful convergence to manageable gradient levels (5-10) in later stages indicates stable final policy.
• Negative:
  • High volatility throughout training with frequent spikes suggests sensitivity to reward normalization updates.
  • Peak gradients around step 30,000 indicate some training instability during active learning phase.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Excellent convergence pattern: rises during learning phase (20k-40k steps), then steadily decreases to near-zero.
  • Final loss values approaching 1-2 demonstrate successful value function approximation.
  • No catastrophic loss explosions or sustained high loss periods.
• Negative:
  • Significant loss spike to ~11 around step 30,000 coinciding with gradient peaks shows temporary training difficulty.
  • High variability throughout suggests reward normalization may introduce learning noise.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Controlled Q-value evolution with peak around 30 followed by gradual decline to ~12.
  • The decline pattern suggests the agent learned to avoid overestimation bias through reward normalization.
  • Final Q-values in reasonable range (10-15) indicate realistic value function estimates.
• Negative:
  • Extreme volatility and large swings (±40 Q-value units) throughout training.
  • Sharp drops and negative excursions suggest reward normalization may cause value function instability.
  • High variance makes it difficult to assess true convergence quality.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Dramatic improvement from -1,750 to -200 range shows excellent policy learning.
  • Achievement of near-optimal performance (-200 to -100) demonstrates effective pendulum control.
  • Sustained good performance over 300+ episodes shows robust learned policy.
• Negative:
  • High episode-to-episode variability throughout training indicates policy inconsistency.
  • Occasional performance drops even after apparent convergence suggest ongoing sensitivity to reward normalization.

Noisy DQN Model Improvements

The following cells implement various improvements to the baseline Noisy DQN model to enhance exploration, stability, and learning efficiency.

True NoisyDQN – Code Overview

This implementation incorporates NoisyNet layers with trainable noise parameters for exploration, replacing epsilon-greedy with learnable stochastic weights that enable state-dependent exploration while maintaining the baseline DQN training framework.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across experiments.
• Discrete Action Space:
  Continuous Pendulum actions are discretized into 5 fixed values: [-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0].
• Config Parameters:
  Simplified compared to baseline DQN (no epsilon needed):
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.95
  • learning_rate: 0.001
  • batch_size: 32
  • memory_size: 10,000 experiences
  • std_init: 0.4 (initial noise standard deviation)

---

2. NoisyLinear Layer Architecture

• Trainable Noise Parameters:
  • weight_mu: Mean weights (trainable)
  • weight_sigma: Noise scaling for weights (trainable)
  • bias_mu: Mean biases (trainable)
  • bias_sigma: Noise scaling for biases (trainable)
• Noise Generation: Factorized Gaussian noise during training: weight = μ + σ ⊙ ε
• Initialization: Sigma parameters start at std_init / √(input_dim) for stable learning
• Inference Mode: Uses mean parameters only (μ) when training=False

---

3. Network Architecture

• Hybrid Design:
  • First layer: Regular Dense(32, ReLU) for feature extraction
  • Second layer: NoisyLinear(32) + ReLU for exploration in hidden space
  • Output layer: NoisyLinear(5) for action value estimation with exploration
• Target Network: Maintains separate noisy network copy for stable Q-value targets
• Optimizer: Adam with MSE loss function

---

4. NoisyNet Exploration Strategy

• No Epsilon-Greedy: Exploration handled entirely by network noise
• State-Dependent Exploration: Different noise patterns for different states
• Automatic Annealing: Network learns to reduce noise as training progresses
• Action Selection: Always greedy on noisy Q-values: argmax Q_noisy(s, a)
• Training vs. Inference: Uses noise during training, deterministic during testing

---

5. Training Process (replay method)

• Noisy Q-Values: Main network generates Q-values with noise during training
• Target Q-Values: Target network computes targets without noise (training=False)
• Loss Calculation: Standard MSE between noisy current Q-values and deterministic targets
• Gradient Flow: Backpropagation updates both mean and noise parameters
• Noise Learning: Network learns optimal noise levels for exploration vs. exploitation

---

6. Experience Replay

• Buffer Management: Standard deque with 10,000 capacity
• Sampling Strategy: Random minibatches (same as baseline)
• Adaptive Batch Size: Starts with min_batch_size (8) and scales up to batch_size (32)

---

7. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Episode Returns: Total reward per episode for learning curve analysis
• Loss Values: Training loss over time with noisy Q-value updates
• Q-Values: Average noisy Q-values during action selection
• Gradient Norms: Gradient magnitudes across all parameters (μ and σ)
• Training Steps: Comprehensive progress tracking without epsilon decay

---

8. Visualization and Testing

• 4-Panel Plot: Matches other models (gradient, loss, Q-values, episode returns)
• Testing Mode: Uses deterministic policy (mean parameters only)
• Performance Metrics: Average test rewards over multiple episodes

---

Key Differences from Baseline DQN

• Exploration Method: Trainable network noise replaces epsilon-greedy random actions
• State-Dependent Exploration: Different exploration patterns for different states
• Learnable Exploration: Network automatically adjusts exploration intensity
• No Epsilon Schedule: Eliminates hyperparameter tuning for exploration decay
• Noise Parameter Learning: Optimizes both policy and exploration strategy simultaneously

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Test learnable exploration benefits over fixed epsilon-greedy in the Pendulum environment
2. Demonstrate NoisyNet capabilities for state-dependent exploration patterns
3. Eliminate exploration hyperparameters by making exploration part of the learning process
4. Provide direct comparison against epsilon-greedy using the same evaluation framework
5. Show how neural network architecture can encode

Observations and Insights – True NoisyDQN Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Well-controlled gradient magnitudes (0-200) throughout most of training show stable learning dynamics.
  • Clear peak activity around steps 20,000-50,000 indicates strong learning phase with manageable gradient flow.
  • Gradual stabilization after step 60,000 suggests the network learned to control its own noise effectively.
• Negative:
  • High variability and spikes throughout training reflect the inherent stochasticity of noisy networks.
  • Persistent fluctuations even late in training indicate the exploration noise never fully converges to deterministic behavior.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Rapid decline from initial values (~15) to near-zero after 60,000 steps demonstrates effective learning convergence.
  • Sustained low loss values (< 5) in later stages show the network achieved stable value function approximation.
  • Clear learning curve progression without catastrophic failures or loss explosions.
• Negative:
  • High volatility throughout training reflects the challenge of learning with constantly changing noisy parameters.
  • Never achieves the ultra-stable loss patterns seen in deterministic methods, showing noise-induced training difficulty.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Steady progression from highly negative values (-20 to -140) shows the network learning increasingly accurate value estimates.
  • Consistent downward trend indicates the agent is learning to identify and avoid high-cost states/actions effectively.
• Negative:
  • Extreme volatility with large swings (±40 Q-value units) throughout training due to noisy network outputs.
  • Q-values become increasingly negative over time, potentially indicating overestimation correction but with high uncertainty.
  • Persistent noise in Q-value estimates even after apparent convergence suggests ongoing exploration interference.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Dramatic improvement from -1,500 to -200 within first 100 episodes shows rapid policy learning despite noise.
  • Achievement of near-optimal performance (-200 to 0 range) demonstrates NoisyNet can learn effective control policies.
  • Sustained good performance over 400+ episodes shows the learned policy is robust to ongoing noise.
• Negative:
  • High episode-to-episode variability throughout training due to stochastic action selection from noisy Q-values.
  • Occasional performance drops even after convergence reflect the ongoing exploration burden of noisy networks.
  • Never achieves the consistent high performance of deterministic methods due to persistent exploration noise.

True NoisyDQN demonstrates effective learning and strong final performance while maintaining continuous exploration throughout training. Key characteristics:

Strengths:

• Achieves excellent control performance (-200 to 0 returns) without epsilon-greedy scheduling
• Shows robust learning despite constant network noise and stochastic outputs
• Automatically balances exploration and exploitation through learnable noise parameters
• Maintains exploration capability even after policy convergence

Challenges:

• Higher training variability compared to deterministic methods due to persistent noise
• Q-value estimates remain noisy throughout training, complicating convergence assessment
• Episode performance shows ongoing fluctuations from continuous stochastic exploration
• Learning dynamics are inherently more complex due to simultaneous policy and noise optimization

Potential Improvements

• Noise Annealing: Gradually reduce noise standard deviation bounds to stabilize late-stage performance
• Separate Exploration Schedule: Decouple noise learning rate from main network learning rate
• Noise Regularization: Add penalties for excessive noise to encourage convergence to deterministic behavior
• Evaluation Mode Enhancement: Implement stronger deterministic behavior during periodic evaluation phases
• Target Network Noise Control: Consider using deterministic target networks to reduce training variance

SAC Model Improvements

The following cells implement various improvements to the baseline SAC model to enhance performance, stability, and sample efficiency.

Auto-Entropy SAC – Code Overview

This implementation extends the standard SAC algorithm with automatic entropy coefficient tuning, eliminating the need to manually set the entropy regularization parameter α by learning it during training to maintain a target entropy level.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across experiments.
• Continuous Action Space:
  Handles native continuous actions in range [-2.0, 2.0] without discretization.
• Config Parameters:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.99
  • learning_rate: 3e-4
  • batch_size: 64
  • tau: 0.005 (soft update rate)
  • target_entropy: -ACTION_DIM (automatic entropy target)
  • buffer_size: 50,000 experiences

---

2. Model Architecture

• Actor Network: Outputs both mean (mu) and log standard deviation (log_std) for Gaussian policy
  • Two hidden layers with 64 ReLU units each
  • Tanh activation for mean, scaled to [-2, 2]
  • Clipped log_std to prevent numerical instability
• Critic Networks: Twin Q-networks (Q1, Q2) that take state-action pairs
  • Two hidden layers with 64 ReLU units each
  • Concatenated state-action input
• Target Networks: Soft-updated copies of both critics for stable learning

---

3. Automatic Entropy Tuning

• Learnable Alpha: log_α as a trainable parameter, with α = exp(log_α)
• Target Entropy: Set to -ACTION_DIM for continuous control (encourages exploration)
• Alpha Loss: L_α = -log_α * (log_π + target_entropy) to adjust entropy coefficient
• Dual Optimization: Simultaneously learns policy, Q-functions, and optimal entropy weight
• Adaptive Exploration: Automatically balances exploration vs. exploitation throughout training

---

4. Experience Replay

• Circular Buffer: Stores transitions (state, action, reward, next_state, done) with automatic overwrite
• Random Sampling: Breaks temporal correlations between consecutive experiences
• Large Capacity: 50K experiences for diverse training data

---

5. Training Process (train_step_sac method)

• Twin Q-Learning: Updates both Q-networks using target Q-values from minimum of target networks
• Policy Update: Maximizes expected Q-value plus entropy term with learned α
• Alpha Update: Adjusts entropy coefficient to maintain target entropy level
• Entropy Calculation: Computes log probability of Gaussian actions for regularization
• Soft Target Updates: Applies exponential moving average to target network weights

---

6. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Episode Returns: Total reward per episode for learning curve analysis
• Combined Losses: Averaged losses across Q1, Q2, and actor networks
• Q-Value Sampling: Periodic Q-value recording during action selection
• Alpha Evolution: Tracks how entropy coefficient changes during training
• Gradient Norms: Combined gradient magnitudes across all networks

---

7. Visualization Suite

• 6-Panel Layout: Extended visualization including alpha evolution
  • Gradient over step
  • Loss over step
  • Average Q-value over step
  • Episode return over time
  • Alpha (entropy coefficient) over time
  • Empty panel for layout symmetry
• Alpha Tracking: Dedicated plot showing automatic entropy tuning progress

---

8. Testing and Evaluation

• Deterministic Testing: Uses mean action without sampling for consistent evaluation
• Multiple Episodes: Averages performance over several test runs
• Render Support: Optional visualization of learned policy execution

---

Key Differences from Standard SAC

• Automatic Alpha Tuning: Eliminates manual hyperparameter tuning for entropy coefficient
• Target Entropy: Uses principled target based on action dimensionality
• Additional Optimizer: Separate Adam optimizer for alpha parameter learning
• Dual Objective: Optimizes both performance and entropy regulation simultaneously
• Adaptive Exploration: Exploration intensity automatically adjusts based on learning progress

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Eliminate entropy hyperparameter tuning by learning optimal exploration-exploitation balance
2. Improve robustness across different environments and tasks without manual α adjustment
3. Demonstrate automatic tuning benefits compared to fixed entropy coefficient SAC
4. Provide principled exploration control that adapts to learning progress
5. Enable fair comparison with other methods using consistent

Observations and Insights – Auto-Entropy SAC Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Extremely stable gradients (near 0) for the first 70,000+ steps demonstrate excellent training stability during exploration phase.
  • The exponential increase pattern indicates controlled learning acceleration rather than chaotic instability.
• Negative:
  • Massive gradient explosion to 1.2e19 at the end suggests catastrophic numerical instability or divergence.
  • The sudden spike indicates complete loss of training control, potentially due to automatic entropy tuning failure.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Ultra-stable loss values (near 0) for the vast majority of training show exceptional convergence.
  • The sustained low loss period indicates the algorithm successfully learned stable value functions.
• Negative:
  • Explosive loss increase to 4.5e26 at the final stage confirms algorithmic breakdown.
  • The timing matches the gradient explosion, suggesting systemic failure in automatic entropy adjustment.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Smooth progression from 0 to 6e8 shows the agent learning increasingly optimistic value estimates.
  • The steady upward trend indicates improving policy performance and better state-action value assessment.
• Negative:
  • Extreme Q-value magnitudes (6e8) suggest severe overestimation bias or numerical overflow.
  • The exponential growth pattern indicates the automatic entropy tuning may have driven values to unrealistic scales.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Consistent performance around -1,000 to -1,200 throughout training shows the agent learned a functional control policy.
  • Stable episode returns despite underlying training instabilities demonstrate policy robustness.
• Negative:
  • Performance never improves beyond -600, indicating the agent failed to learn truly optimal pendulum control.
  • High variability between episodes suggests the policy remained suboptimal throughout training.

5. Alpha (Entropy Coefficient) Over Time

• Positive:
  • Maintains near-zero values for most of training, showing automatic tuning working as intended initially.
  • The gradual approach suggests the algorithm was trying to find appropriate exploration levels.
• Negative:
  • Explosive growth to 2.0 in final stages indicates the automatic entropy tuning completely failed.
  • The sudden spike coincides with gradient/loss explosions, suggesting alpha tuning caused the training collapse.

Overall Assessment

Auto-Entropy SAC demonstrates excellent initial stability and automatic tuning capabilities but suffers from catastrophic failure in the automatic entropy adjustment mechanism. Key findings:

Strengths:

• Outstanding training stability for 70,000+ steps with near-zero gradients and losses
• Successful automatic entropy coefficient management during stable phase
• Learned functional (though suboptimal) pendulum control policy
• Demonstrates the potential of automatic hyperparameter tuning

Critical Failure Modes:

• Complete algorithmic breakdown when automatic entropy tuning diverges
• Extreme numerical instability (gradients > 1e19, losses > 1e26)
• Q-value estimates grow to unrealistic magnitudes (6e8)
• Alpha parameter explosion destroys all learning progress

Potential Improvements

• Alpha Bounds: Implement strict upper and lower bounds on the entropy coefficient (e.g., α ∈ [0.001, 1.0])
• Gradient Clipping: Apply aggressive gradient norm clipping to prevent numerical overflow
• Early Stopping: Monitor alpha growth rate and halt training before divergence occurs
• Conservative Target Entropy: Use more conservative target entropy values to prevent excessive exploration
• Alpha Learning Rate: Reduce the learning rate specifically for alpha updates to slow adaptation
• Regularization: Add L2 penalties on alpha parameter to prevent extreme values
• Robust Optimization: Use more stable optimizers for alpha updates (e.g.,

# Create and train Auto-Entropy SAC
print("Training Auto-Entropy SAC...")
auto_entropy_sac_agent = AutoEntropySAC()
auto_entropy_sac_agent.train(episodes=500)
auto_entropy_sac_agent.plot_comprehensive_metrics()

SAC with Reward Normalization and Observation Normalization

Normalized SAC – Code Overview

This implementation incorporates comprehensive normalization techniques including observation normalization, reward normalization, and batch normalization layers to stabilize SAC training and improve convergence reliability in continuous control environments.

---

1. Setup and Configuration

• Reproducibility:
  Fixed seeds for NumPy, TensorFlow, and Python's random ensure consistent results across experiments.
• Continuous Action Space:
  Handles native continuous actions in range [-2.0, 2.0] without discretization.
• Conservative Config Parameters:
  • gamma (discount factor): 0.99
  • learning_rate: 1e-4 (reduced for stability)
  • batch_size: 64
  • tau: 0.001 (smaller for gradual updates)
  • alpha: 0.2 (fixed entropy coefficient)
  • buffer_size: 50,000 experiences

---

2. Running Mean and Standard Deviation Normalization

• RunningMeanStd Class: Efficiently tracks running statistics for online normalization
• Observation Normalization: Standardizes state inputs to zero mean, unit variance
• Reward Normalization: Normalizes rewards using running statistics with clipping to [-10, 10]
• Online Updates: Statistics updated continuously during training for adaptive normalization
• Numerical Stability: Small epsilon (1e-8) prevents division by zero

---

3. Network Architecture with Batch Normalization

• Actor Network:
  • Two Dense(64) + ReLU layers with BatchNormalization after each
  • Outputs mean and log_std for Gaussian policy
  • Tanh activation for mean, scaled to [-2, 2]
• Critic Networks:
  • Two Dense(64) + ReLU layers with BatchNormalization after each
  • Concatenated state-action input with normalization
  • Twin Q-networks for reduced overestimation bias
• Target Networks: Soft-updated copies for stable learning

---

4. Multi-Level Normalization Strategy

• Input Normalization: Observations normalized using running mean/std before network input
• Internal Normalization: Batch normalization layers stabilize hidden activations
• Reward Normalization: Rewards standardized and clipped for consistent learning signals
• Gradient Stabilization: Lower learning rate and smaller tau for controlled updates

---

5. Experience Replay

• Circular Buffer: Stores transitions with normalized rewards
• Batch Processing: Normalizes observations at sampling time for consistency
• Large Capacity: 50K experiences for diverse training data
• Statistics Updates: Observation buffer maintains recent states for running statistics

---

6. Training Process (train_step_sac method)

• Normalized Inputs: All state inputs normalized before network processing
• Twin Q-Learning: Updates both Q-networks using normalized target Q-values
• Policy Update: Actor optimization using normalized states and Q-values
• Soft Target Updates: Conservative updates with small tau (0.001)
• Gradient Tracking: Records combined gradient norms across all networks

---

7. Enhanced Observation Processing

• Episode-Level Collection: Gathers observations throughout episodes
• Batch Statistics Updates: Updates running mean/std using collected observations
• Memory Management: Maintains observation buffer with sliding window
• Adaptive Normalization: Statistics evolve with changing state distributions

---

8. Enhanced Metrics Tracking

• Episode Returns: Original (unnormalized) rewards for interpretable learning curves
• Combined Losses: Averaged losses across all networks
• Q-Value Sampling: Periodic Q-value recording during action selection
• Gradient Norms: Combined gradient magnitudes for stability monitoring

---

9. Visualization and Testing

• 4-Panel Plot: Standard layout (gradient, loss, Q-values, episode returns)
• Testing Mode: Uses learned normalization statistics for consistent evaluation
• Performance Metrics: Average test rewards in original scale

---

Key Differences from Standard SAC

• Multi-Level Normalization: Combines input, internal, and reward normalization
• Conservative Hyperparameters: Smaller learning rate and tau for enhanced stability
• Batch Normalization: Internal network normalization for stable activations
• Running Statistics: Adaptive normalization that evolves during training
• Comprehensive Preprocessing: Normalizes all inputs before network processing

---

Purpose

This implementation is designed to:

1. Maximize training stability through comprehensive normalization at all levels
2. Improve convergence reliability by standardizing all learning signals
3. Handle varying input scales automatically through adaptive statistics
4. Demonstrate normalization benefits for continuous control tasks
5. Provide robust baseline that works across different environments without hyperparameter tuning
6. Test synergistic effects of multiple normalization techniques combined

Observations and Insights – Normalized SAC Training

1. Gradient Over Step

• Positive:
  • Smooth, controlled gradient growth from 0 to ~1,400 over 100,000 steps shows excellent training stability.
  • No sudden spikes or catastrophic explosions indicate the normalization techniques are working effectively.
  • Gradual increase pattern suggests the algorithm is learning progressively more complex policies.
• Negative:
  • Continuous upward trend without plateau suggests the training may not be converging to a stable solution.
  • High variability in later stages (oscillations around 1,000-1,400) indicates some training instability despite normalization.

2. Loss Over Step

• Positive:
  • Extended period of near-zero loss for the first 40,000 steps demonstrates initial training stability.
  • Gradual increase rather than explosive growth shows controlled learning dynamics.
• Negative:
  • Significant loss escalation from step 40,000 onwards, reaching 600-700, indicates training difficulties.
  • High volatility and sustained elevated loss suggest the normalization couldn't prevent convergence issues.
  • The loss pattern mirrors the gradient growth, confirming systematic training challenges.

3. Average Q-value Over Step

• Positive:
  • Steady, consistent upward progression from 0 to ~160 shows the agent learning increasingly optimistic value estimates.
  • Smooth trajectory with manageable variance demonstrates stable value function learning.
  • The controlled growth suggests normalization helped prevent extreme Q-value overestimation.
• Negative:
  • Continuous increase without leveling off indicates potential overestimation bias despite twin Q-networks.
  • High volatility in later stages corresponds with loss and gradient instabilities.

4. Episode Return Over Time

• Positive:
  • Excellent learning progression from -1,600 to around -800 to -1,000 range shows effective policy improvement.
  • Achievement of near-optimal performance (-800 to -1,000) demonstrates the agent learned good pendulum control.
  • Consistent performance over 500 episodes shows learned policy stability.
• Negative:
  • High episode-to-episode variability throughout training indicates policy inconsistency.
  • Never achieves the best possible returns (closer to -200) suggesting suboptimal final performance.
  • Occasional performance drops even after apparent convergence show ongoing learning instability.

---

Overall Assessment

Normalized SAC demonstrates good policy learning and reasonable training stability but still encounters systematic training difficulties despite comprehensive normalization. Key findings:

Strengths:

• Excellent initial training stability with near-zero gradients and losses for 40,000+ steps
• Successful policy learning achieving functional pendulum control (-800 to -1,000 returns)
• Controlled Q-value growth without extreme overestimation explosions
• Comprehensive normalization prevents the catastrophic failures seen in other SAC variants

Challenges:

• Gradual but persistent training instability after initial stable phase
• Loss and gradient growth indicate ongoing convergence difficulties
• High variability in episode returns suggests policy inconsistency
• Never achieves truly optimal performance despite normalization benefits

Comparative Analysis

Compared to Auto-Entropy SAC's catastrophic failure, Normalized SAC shows the benefits of:

• Stability Enhancement: Normalization prevents the extreme numerical instabilities
• Controlled Learning: Gradual rather than explosive training dynamics
• Better Convergence: Achieves reasonable performance without algorithmic breakdown

Potential Improvements

• Gradient Clipping: Add explicit gradient norm clipping to control the upward trend
• Learning Rate Scheduling: Reduce learning rates as training progresses to improve convergence
• Enhanced Target Updates: Consider different tau schedules or update frequencies
• Regularization: Add L2 penalties to prevent continued parameter growth
• Early Stopping: Implement criteria to halt training when performance stabilizes
• Entropy Scheduling: Gradually reduce

Reward Normalized DQN Advantages:

1. Superior Performance: ~100 points better episode returns
2. Better Loss Convergence: Drops to near-zero vs. sustained 15-25
3. Lower Gradient Magnitudes: Max ~30 vs. max ~80
4. More Controlled Learning: Clear convergence patterns
5. Simpler Implementation: Single focused enhancement

Tuned Enhanced DQN Issues:

1. Worse Episode Returns: Despite being "enhanced," performs significantly worse
2. Higher Training Complexity: More volatile gradients and sustained higher loss
3. Over-Tuning Effect: Hyperparameter tuning sacrificed performance for stability
4. Implementation Complexity: Multiple enhancements create unnecessary complexity

Extended Training Comparison

Training Duration:

• Reward Normalized DQN: ~400,000 steps (longer training)
• Tuned Enhanced DQN: ~400,000 steps (similar duration)

Convergence Quality:

• Reward Normalized DQN: Clear loss convergence to near-zero, stable final performance
• Tuned Enhanced DQN: No clear convergence, sustained high loss values

---

Final Verdict: Reward Normalized DQN is Clearly Superior

Performance Metrics:

• 100+ point advantage in episode returns
• Better training stability across all metrics
• Cleaner convergence patterns
• Simpler, more maintainable implementation

Why Tuned Enhanced DQN Failed:

1. Over-Conservative Tuning: Hyperparameters optimized for stability at cost of performance
2. Complexity Penalty: Multiple enhancements interfere with each other
3. Wrong Optimization Target: Focused on internal metrics rather than actual performance
4. Diminishing Returns: Added complexity didn't translate to better results

Recommendation: Choose Reward Normalized DQN

Reward Normalized DQN is the clear winner because it:

• Delivers significantly better performance (-100 to -200 vs -200 to -350)
• Maintains excellent training stability
• Uses simpler, more reliable implementation
• Shows better convergence characteristics
• Requires less hyperparameter tuning

The comparison definitively shows that simpler, focused enhancements (reward normalization) outperform complex, multi-feature approaches (enhanced DQN) both in
